March 15 MSE Webinar: Sensory Room Considerations, from Concept to Installation

February 15, 2018 by mhawks

March 15, 2018 Webinar: 12N EDT ::  Sensory Room Considerations, from Concept to Installation

Webinar Series: Reimagining and Facilitating Multi-Sensory Environments

Join the conversation…inspiration…resources

Presentation of topics is approximately 45 minutes, with some additional time allowed for discussion. These sessions are provided as an educational service to promote the potentials and possibilities for quality of life outcomes, when working with others in multi-sensory environments.

[ENDED]  All are welcome. Registration is free.

Congratulations! You’ve made the decision to put a sensory room in for your students, clients or residents. Now what?

There are quite a few things to consider before the bubble tubes and fiber optics are in the room. This session will provide you with what you need to know as you embark on developing a sensory room. From evaluating your facility spaces to installation, you will come away with practical knowledge that will result in a purposeful Multi Sensory Environment to suit your needs, now and well into the future.


About the Presenter: Karen Pool, General Manager, TFH USA Ltd.

Karen began working with TFH USA in 2006 as a Multi Sensory Environment designer. For over two years, she created designs for schools, hospitals, nursing homes, developmental centers, homes and a variety of other facilities. In 2008, she was promoted to MSE Consultant and worked with these facilities from the beginning of their journey through to installation and follow up care. She has designed hundreds of rooms and has learned the do’s and don’ts throughout her 12 years at TFH USA Ltd. She has seen first-hand how the implementation of Multi Sensory Environments can transform the lives of those with special needs as well as their caregivers.

Why Magnetic Headlines Are Crucial for Your Posts

Welcome to Rainmaker. This is a sample post to get you started on your journey. Don’t forget that your headline is the most important aspect of writing a great post, and getting readers to read your opening paragraph.

The first four to six sentences of your post are critical, because if you don’t hook your audience, they will get bored and click away.

What is the benefit you will provide readers that you promised in the title? Be sure to describe the signs of the problem you will offer a solution to toward the end of your post.

Use subheads to improve readability and gather interest

Here you can begin to describe the underlying causes of the problem you have the solutions to, using persuasive arguments and great storytelling, and readers will have no choice but to read more.

Subheads help readers scan your content quickly

Bullet points are helpful to keep your copy reader-friendly, and a proven standard for making a solid argument:

  • Tell a great story, but don’t over-write it. Be authentic!
  • Use internal cliffhangers to entice readers to read more.
  • Use a great image to make an impression on readers from the start.

Subheads draw readers’ attention to your call to action

When you provide real solutions and insights for your prospects and customers, you build trust and authority that will allow you to deepen the conversation further with an opt-in or call-to-action.

Sign up here! This is where a compelling call to action makes it clear to your readers what they need to do next to implement your solution.

Good luck!

“In human development, freedom and the genuine feel of self-determination are only concepts until they become developed and differentiated through one’s narrative story. This is a quality of life goal and outcome, produced through reciprocal relationship-building processes that incorporate a framework of Gentle Teaching, where learning and living begin with feeling safe and loved.” ~Dr. Anthony M. McCrovitz, Executive Director
